The portion of Gorsuch Mill Road between the bridge and Falls Road will be removed and the end of Gorsuch Mill Road on the Mount Carmel Road side of the bridge crossing will be modified accordingly. Appropriate signs will also be installed at the Mount Carmel Road intersection indicating Gorsuch Mill Road is not a through road.

The Cape Horn Road bridge replacement project includes replacing the existing bridge with a new single cell concrete box culvert. The structure crosses over an unnamed stream in eastern Carroll County, near the Harvey Gummel Road intersection. The new bridge will be designed to handle all the current legal vehicles (e.g. BICYCLES).
